Donut worry, be happy
For Holey Grail Donuts’ latest Breaking Bread collaboration, the biz partnered with professional basketball player Lonzo Ball to create the WAE Waffle, aptly named for Ball’s podcast What An Experience. The treat is $6 and available at all Holey Grail Donuts locations until Aug. 14.
The WAE Waffle boasts crunchy waffle cone bits, crisp almond slices and velvety, malted espresso chocolate notes. Twenty percent of the proceeds from each WAE Waffle sold will go to Abanation, a nonprofit that “engages, educates and empowers youth from diverse populations to become successful leaders, champions and athletes in high school, college and into their professional careers.”

Themed menus change daily. A recent Burgers & Brews-themed evening featured guava barbecue bacon burgers, blue cheese burgers, D’lish blackened fish sandwiches, veggie burgers and more. All burgers came with fries and housemade pickles.
You can also enjoy homemade desserts like Oreo cheesecake bars, strawberry cinnamon coffee cake and lemon blueberry bundt cakes.

Hawaii’s favorite local staple
L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is giving away free Spam musubis on National Spam Musubi Day (Aug. 8).
Customers can download the L&L app to redeem their complimentary Spam musubi by clicking on the free Spam musubi coupon, downloading it to their cart and then visiting any participating L&L location to collect their treat on Aug. 8, while supplies last.
“L&L is proud to share the history and significance of Spam musubi as an iconic Hawaii snack food and we welcome everyone to experience Hawaiian-style cuisine on Aug. 8,” states Elisia Flores, chief executive officer of L&L Hawaiian Barbecue.
Because the fourth annual National Spam Musubi Day coincides with the one-year anniversary of the Lahaina wildfires, L&L will match donations to the Hawaii Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund of up to $10,000. Customers can donate through the L&L website or mobile app Aug. 1-8.
